Use laravel new with no folder
Hi,
I already setup my VPS that comes with cpanel with a new subdomain, example sub.abcde.com
Then i install composer, and also laravel installer like whats being told here: http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/quick
Now i can create new laravel project easily just by laravel new appname which will create folder appname in my subdomain
How can i create a new laravel project but not involving new folder creation? So when i open sub.abcde.com i will see the default laravel welcome page rather than sub.abcde.com/appname?

Since you already have a directory and you have composer installed use the composer command on that page. For project name use ./
composer create-project laravel/laravel ./

or even shorter than @WayneLuke
composer create-project laravel/laravel .
Please note your target directory should be empty. Even a .git directory (a consequence of running git init) will stop the installation from composer.

@dzulhelmi don't forget that web server root is not project's root directory, but project's public directory.
